[OTHER] Add Devicons/Devicon to Nerdfonts

I have searched through the issues and didn't find my problem.

What would you like to share?

It would be nice if Devicons was updated in Nerdfonts from the old unmaintained vorillaz/devicons repo to this one. I added some comments to the issue over at ryanoasis/nerd-fonts asking in what way they'd like to add it: ryanoasis/nerd-fonts#615 (comment)

While we wait for an answer we might as well discuss it here too :)

@Panquesito7 @BenSouchet @kilian-paquier @lunatic-fox
Would love to get some of your opinions on this!

Hi,
Don't know if it's our "job" to update the version that is used by Nerdfonts, but if it's not to difficult / time consuming for us to update it why not. It's better if users have the latest version of the work done by the Devicon community.

Waiting for the comment(s) of others here and also the comment(s) of the maintainers of Nerdfonts

[Snailedlt]

@BenSouchet Agreed! It's not our job, but would be cool regardless :)

[lunatic-fox]

First, thanks for marking me into this discussion.

I agree with @BenSouchet. I like you took the first step by asking how to make this addition properly. And yeah, I also think it'll have a compatibility problem when adding from Vorillaz repository, but let's wait Nerdfonts maintainers response on that.

It also seems that users have been wanting and waiting for this for quite some time. 😃

Whatever, I can certainly help to whichever degree you like it :)
In fact even with introducing codepoint stability (*) the job is not very hard.

(*) Font-Logos introduced a small script with this commit, and I used their ideas for this script that generates a codepoint-guaranteed font from SVGs for 'Nerd Fonts "Original"' symbols font.

[Snailedlt]

I'll create an issue on introducing codepoint stability

[Panquesito7]

Kinda late, but I agree with the comments above. :)

Hate to be this guy, but any update on this? Nerdfont has successfully upgraded to v3.0.0 so I think it'll be a good opportunity to get this resolved.

Reading the linked issues and comments, it seems that #1516 is the first thing that needs to be worked on in order to merge it into nerdfont.

Thank you.

@pysan3 Sadly there hasn't been any work on this other than creating the issue you linked to. For now the top priority is releasing what we have on the develop branch.
After that I wanna spend my time migrating to trunk based development (only one main branch instead of main + develop).

That said we're open to PRs, so if you want feel free to make one. I'll make time to review it since it's an important feature
